This matched pair of Victorian armchairs dates from 1880 and comes upholstered in olive green velvet with padded arms and comfortable loose seat cushions finished with decorative fringing. The timber construction incorporates turned front legs raised on original brass castors. Each chair measures 77 cm high, 66 cm wide and 73 cm deep, with a seat height of 48 cm. Suitable for placement in a traditional sitting room or study, these British-made chairs offer practical seating for daily use while adding period character to an interior scheme. The design fits well alongside other antique furnishings within an English country house setting.

FAQs

Typically featuring deeply upholstered seats, padded armrests, and turned wooden front legs on castors, these armchairs were designed for comfort in 19th and early 20th-century drawing rooms and libraries.

Traditional construction utilizes a solid hardwood frame, such as beech or mahogany, sprung seating stuffed with horsehair or fibre, and upholstery fabrics including heavy velvet, wool, or damask.

Look for original brass castors stamped with maker marks, hand-carved turned legs, traditional coil springs with hessian webbing, and evidence of hand-tacked upholstery underneath the frame.

Position a matched pair opposite a sleek neutral sofa or flanking a central fireplace to create visual balance through the contrast of historic fabric and modern lines.

Gently vacuum velvet upholstery using a soft brush attachment along the direction of the pile, blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and keep the fabric away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
